No Child Left Inside Hiking Club at Prairie Park
Lawrence Parks and Recreation runs biweekly No Child Left Inside hikes each Wednesday from September to November at Prairie Park Nature Center Clinton Lake and Baker Wetlands Discovery Center. The program targets kindergartners through sixth graders to promote outdoor hands on learning through activities like fossil hunting butterfly tagging and bird watching while emphasizing free play and physical activity. The initiative aims to curb screen time and connect children with nature over about 90 minutes per session. For more information visit lawrenceks.org or call 832 7980.
